Urban Africa is undergoing a transformation unlike anywhere else in
the world, as unprecedented numbers of people migrate to rapidly
expanding cities. But despite the growing body of work on urban
Africa, the lives of these new city dwellers have received
relatively little attention, particularly when it comes to crucial
issues of power and inequality. This interdisciplinary collection
brings together contributions from urban studies, geography, and
anthropology to provide new insights into the social and political
dynamics of African cities, as well as uncovering the causes and
consequences of urban inequality. Featuring rich new ethnographic
research data and case studies drawn from across the continent, the
collection shows that Africa's new urbanites have adapted to their
environs in ways which often defy the assumptions of urban
planners. By examining the experiences of these urban residents in
confronting issues of power and agency, the contributors consider
how such insights can inform more effective approaches to research,
city planning and development both in Africa and beyond.
